Boden has been Lucifer’s right hand man for the past two centuries. So the last thing he expects when he’s kidnapped during a battle with angels is a shot at redemption. Assigned to a reaper named Anna he’s whisked off to a secluded training center. The blonde pixie makes his libido spiral out of control, and if he’s not careful she may awaken the humanity he thought lost.
Anna is unable to resist the dark temptation that is Boden, and she succumbs to a passion that threatens to consume her. Now what was once a mission has become a battle for the soul of the man she loves. Can she save him, or will she be forced to watch him walk back into hell?
Excerpt:
“Why would you do that, you stupid woman! You were completely defenseless just now. I could have done anything.”
“Yet, you didn’t. How could I ask you to trust me if I don’t show you trust first?”
“This is a dangerous game you play.” He wrapped his fingers around her waist, staring into her eyes as he willed her to tell him the truth.
“It’s not a game, Bo. We’ll never move forward until we leave our history behind.”
“Your serious aren’t you?” he scoffed. “You holy-rollers and your silly faith. I doubt I even know how to trust anymore. It’s not exactly a quality you need in my line of work.”
“Then perhaps we should re-learn together.”
“Re-learn?”
“Believe it or not, there are not many I place my trust in. Even in this life, others rarely do things without some sort of ulterior motive.”
“Who do you trust then?”
“Brea.”
“Of course, you do. Everyone loves the new golden girl.”
“You know if you’d give her half a chance I think you two could be good friends.”
Her words made him shudder. “Perish the thought, Pixie.”
“Now this isn’t so bad is it?”
“What?”
“Getting to know each other.”
“Hmm, is that what we’re doing?”
“Yes.”
“Too bad it’s not real. Once you’ve played your role, you’ll be off on a mission to save the next soul.” His words made her flinch, and he smirked. He couldn’t afford to forget when everything was said and done, they’d be on opposite sides. “Truth hurt?”
“No, the way you manipulate facts perturbs me.”
“Do you mean to tell me you’re doing this out of the kindness of your heart? Come on, Anna, we’ve lived much too long to delude ourselves.”
“I may have been assigned to you, but what you do with our time together is up to you!” She rose to her feet, chest heaving and face flushed as she stormed for the door.
“Really?” he asked. His words stopped her shy of the door as she paused. He rose to his feet and stalked forward, feeling pleasure unravel inside him as he backed her into a wall.
“What if I wanted to turn this into something more…intimate?” he whispered. He pressed his body against her lush curves, his hand gripping her hip as he ground his hardening cock against her. A whimper left her lips, and he smirked as her eyes dilated, and her breath hitched. It was good to know he wasn’t alone in his twisted attraction.
“S-Stop.” She gasped.
“Is that really what you want me to do Anna?” he asked. Boden pulled back.
His hand moved up to cup her full breast, kneading the supple mound as he watched her skin turn pink.
“I asked you a question, Anna.” He pinched her nipple and savored her cry. “Is that what you want?”
“N-No.”
“I didn’t think so. You’re a dirty girl, aren’t you?”
He rolled the hardened points of her nipples between his fingers as he drank down her reckless abandon. The power she relinquished made him feel like he was on equal footing for the first time since he’d been taken.
“I bet you’re soaking wet right now, aren’t you?” He slid his hand inside the yoga pants and ran a finger over her moist panties. A satisfied purr left his lips as her hips titled to press the needy part of her against his hand. Her head fell back against the wall.
“This is your secret, isn’t it? The perfect golden-haired goody two-shoes likes to be controlled and told she’s a bad girl.” Whimpers left her throat as he continued to caress her through the thin barrier. Her hips ground up against him.
“Such an eager girl, I think I’ll grant you a gift.” He leaned down to taste her lips, but thought better of it allowing his lips to caress her ear. His tongue flicked out to lick the delicate shell. “Would you like that?”
“Yes.”
Boden moved away to pull her pants down along with her panties. Anna’s curly hairs were neatly trimmed, and her apex glistened with the proof of her arousal. He wanted to go to his knees and taste her. To attach his mouth to the swollen bud that peaked from between her puffy lips and suckle her until she came screaming his name. The intense emotions rolled through him, shaking him as he resisted. He needed to remain in control.
“You’ve got such a pretty little cunt.” The foreplay was skipped as he thrust a finger deep inside her tight hole, and she cried out. Her voice was a strange mix of pleasure and pain that had his tip dripping like a faucet.
“Fuck, you’re so wet and tight.” His finger began to thrust, and her hungry walls sucked him in. Gripped him and held him in their taut embrace.
“You like what I’m doing to you don’t you, my girl?”
“Oh God! Yes.”
“I’m far from done.” He added another finger and pumped faster. “I want to hear you scream my name when you come.” Anna’s fingers curled around his shoulders as her walls shivered, and she rocked her hips in time with his rhythm. Her walls shuddered around his fingers before they clamped down. A gush of liquid flowed forth as she threw her head back and screamed his name. The shrill cries were music to his ears. Her weight rested against the wall, and their gazes locked as he pulled his digits free and sucked them into his mouth. Her honeyed nectar exploded on his tongue, and he moaned. She tasted like ripe fruit sprinkled with sugar.
“You’re the sweetest thing I think I’ve ever tasted.”
“B—”
“Shh, you’re not the only one who has things to teach.” She looked dazed as she nodded her head and allowed him to right her clothing.
“I think you’re the one who needs to think about what we want from our time together. The ball’s in your court now.”

Boden has been kidnapped by the angels and offered redemption, but after fighting for Lucifer for several centuries, he really doesn't trust anyone. Why would someone give him a second chance? He felt like he had just traded one prison for another and was well aware what Lucifer did to traitors.
Anna had been assigned to Boden at the training center where he was supposed to confront his past and seek forgiveness for his past sins, but he had a lot of blood on his hands and felt like there was no redemption for him. Anna saw the good in Boden and knew he could be saved; she just had to make him see that for himself. With war on the horizon, they needed every sole they could save. The more Boden was around Anna, the more he wondered if he could be saved, because she sure made him want to be.
Anna finds herself falling in love with Boden and doesn't think she can watch him return to Lucifer. She'd never experienced real love before when she was human and this was the first time she could stand for a man to touch her after what her human husband had done to her.
The book was ok, but very confusing. Wicked Temptations is the second book in the Fallen series. Since I hadn't read the first book, and there wasn't a history of what was happening, it seemed like I started in the middle of the story. I felt like I was missing the first part. After I grasped what was happening, it was a little better. I would like to read a book written by Shyla Colt, but one with a little more depth and length. I have every intention of trying another of her books because I didn't feel like I could honestly judge this one.

Boden bartered his soul to help his family who were starving and dying. He agreed to become Lucifer’s right hand man and participate in some evil deeds in order to bring about Lucifer’s plan to take over the world. But when Brea (from the Fallen, 1) sees a goodness in him, she arranges for him to learn about the ways of the reapers. Brea’s friend, Anna is given the task of guardian and trainer. She also was scarred growing up and bears the stain on her soul. But when Boden and Anna come together, the sex is combustible. Together they learn to trust again and form a new relationship together.
When Lucifer hatches his big plan, Boden has to go undercover in Lucifer’s home in order to rescue an important prophet but will he be able to play the part of evil creature now that he’s found love with Anna?
Wicked Temptations is the second book in the Fallen series. It was nice to see characters from the first book like Brea, Nox, and AZ but even without reading the first book, Wicked Temptations is a fun read. Knowing that heaven and hell have been fighting for centuries isn’t news to anyone but Wicked Temptations takes the story of Lucifer and God to a different level where angels and reapers work to save the human race, rather than just letting them make their own choices.
The characters in Wicked Temptations sizzle with passion as Anna and Boden can’t keep their hands off each other. They begin with only wanting sex to falling in love. I enjoyed how the story ended with a perfect beginning for the next story. As each book comes out the story of the reapers continues to grow and teach the reader about the importance of making good choices in life for the right reasons. Wicked Temptations also makes it very clear that we are never alone and that we can always be redeemed. Keep that in mind the next time you make a horrible moral choice!

Boden is a fabulous, hot, hard man who works for Lucifer. He’s written with a bit of humor, a slice of sarcasm and a whole lot of sex appeal. Yum, would be the best word to describe him. Anna, is the reaper who got stuck training him and trying to rid him of his dark side. Together, they’re a match made in hell.
What a fabulous read. Ms. Colt really blew me away with this one. There were still the occasional rushed scenes, and some editing issues but the story was solid. The dialogue was fantastic. The tension between Anna and Boden was beautiful written.
Wicked Temptations is a treat.
